A BUST OF MRS. CLEVELAND.
The Ambitious Secret of st. Gaudens
the New York SCULPTOR

dispatch from Marion, Mass, to the New
York World says: A most interesting and ro-
mantle story has just leaked out in connection
with this sylvan studio Mr. st. Gaudens a
young and promising New York sculptor, has
of late been visiting the elders. He is very
intimate friend of the editor of the Century,
and the two spend great deal of time in the
latters' beautiful retreat, one writing and the
other modelling, while Mrs. Glider, close at
hand busies herself with her palette and easel
Young st. Gaudens has long been anxious to
try his hand upon subject worthy of
his ambitious skill, and the longedf for
opportunity presented itself when the
Presidents wife, at at the solicitation of the
Gilders, consented few days ago to sit for a
bust st. Gaudens, of course, was both graft
fed and delighted, and all the preparations were
secretly made for the artistic effort. After care
full consultation the secluded literary workshop
of Mrs. Glider was chosen as the place in which
to hold the sittings. Thither, therefore, almost
every forenoon since, Mrs. Cleveland has driven
with her mother, following the Httle-used, and
shady back road through the woods in order to
escape public notice.
SO far the secret has been well kept. as it has
been the desire of st. Gaudens not TO have the
fact that he was making plaster portrait of
the Presidents wife noised abroad, until the ar
tistic success of the effort had been assured.

Origin of the ro,liver Vendetta.

Many stories are told abont the origin of
the famous Tolliver vendetta in Kentucky.
Some of them are plausible, but most of
them doubtless have no other foundation
than the imaginations of their authors. A
correspondent of the Cincinnati TimeS-Star
gives what is probably the true origin of the
vendetta He says that during President
Arthur's administration Craig Tolliver and
n man named HUMPHREYS were candidates
for the Same county office. The prohibition
vote was cast for the latter and he was
elected Tolliver said that HumphHes'
election was disgrace to Kentucky and
asserted that he should not take possession
of the Office. Nevertheless HUMPHREYS was
sworn in and began the discharge of his
duties. Soon after, John Martin, Hum
phries' brother-in-law, met Tollver's
brother, slipped his revolver under his vic
TINS arm and emptied its contents into his
body. Tolliver and his relations and friends
determined to have revenge Martin was
sent to another county for safe keeping, but
was brought back upon an order forged
by Toliver and was shot dead. 1t is
said that when Martins body was buried
it was nearly double its usual weight be-
cause of the lead in it. Succeeding this
tragedy, a family of Logans joined the
Humphries- Martin faction, and then a
guerrilla war was begun, with the Hum
phries, Martins and Logans on one side and
the Tollivers and their relatives and friends
on the other. Many were killed, until
finally Craig Tolliver lost his life Since
then the State authorities, aided by the
military, have managed to maintain the
peace; but, as there are still alive many be-
longing to both factions, it is believed that
more blood will vet be shed

A PRETTY woMAN's PERIL.
Mrs. Ella, Dinsmore on Trial for Muir.
der in the Oil Regions.
From the Eew York Sun.

From the NeW York Sun.
OIL CITY, Aug 18-,-OD April 8, a great sensa-
ton was produced throughout the oil regions by
the killing Of j. G. Davis, by David King, at the
residence of Mrs. Ella Dinsmore, IN st. Peters
burg, Clarion county. Davis was wealthy oil
operator. King was dashing handsome man
about town, and Mrs. Dinsmore was a stylish
fine-looking woman neither pure as snow nor
chaste as ice. King was arrested ana, after a
sensational trial at Clarion was found guilty or
murder in the first degree. Since then he has been
locked up awaiting sentence The tI7al deVel-
Oped testimony which pointed TO conspiracy
between Mrs. Dinsmore and King to put Davis
out of the way, and after the conviction OF King,
Mrs. Dnsmore was arrested. at IL clock at
night in her room at the Loomis House, where she
was stopping with her daughter Lillian, hand
some girl of l6. Last week the grand jury found
true bill against her for being an accessory
before the fact, and she is now on trial for her
life.
Mrs. Dinsmore is IS years of age, She is at
tended by her daughter Lillian and her mother
Mrs. Phillips. aged n years, OF RuSseHourg,
Warren county, Pennsylvania. The stoy OF the
killing is an interesting one Davis had returned
from st. Louis, where he had been to attempt
reconciliation with his wife, who had refused TO
i've with him on account OF bis infatuatlon ior
Mrs. DinSmore. His mission was unsuccessful
King had supplanted him in the affections Of
Mrs. Dinsmore, and the two men met on the
street and had an angry conversation. King
went to the residence OF Mrs. DinSmore, and
was soon followed by Davis. few minutes
after the latter entered the house pistol snot
was heard, and Davis was found dead on the
floor with bullet hole in his eye and
Kings pistol beside him. Davis was blind IN
one eye, and the superstition is that King had
aimed at this Detective eye and fired. Davis had
pistol at the time, and Mrs Dinsmore testified
that he had pressed the muZzle against her
head threatening to kill her, and at the time be
was shot he had his body part way through 4,
door which he was trying to force open to kill
King. King swore to the same story and said
he shot in self defehce.
The theory was set up by the lawyers that
Davis had been inveigled to Mrs. Dinsmore's
house, and there tainted into q rage by King
ard the woman, and then deliberately muir
among which was the house in which Mrs.
Dinsmore lived There was little evidence to
bear out this theory, but the jury found verdict
accordingly, and Mrs. Dinsmore's arrest fol
lowed There is a great deal of interest
throughout the oil regions in the trial. and the
court room is crowded daily,

Till the Judgment Day.
From the Philadelphia Ne,os.

From the Philadelphia NetoS.
The sun shines brightly DER land and sea,
Bringing sweet memories back to me;
Memories of those who have now gone away,
Never to return till the Judgment Day
Sweet were the looks of my dying child;
Her ways were winning, her temper mild;
But God hath taken my darling away,
Never to return till the Judgment Day.
Dear little Ethel, loved her well;
Yea, more than a thousand tongues can tell;
But God thought best to take her away,
Never to return till the Judgment Day.
God always takes the fairest flower
To bloom in his heavenly bower,
And one by one he takes them away,
Never to return till the Judgment Day.
Then mothers, why do you look so sad?
If they lived for them it might have been bad
And soon God will take me also away,
Never to return till the Judgment Day.
